The Importance Of Sustainable Development

First, it is important to define what corruption is. The term, “corruption” covers a broad range of human actions,

Ultimately corruption takes away from the total resource pie, which essentially takes away from the common populace. When a nation’s resources are fraudulently diverted, societal development and progress suffer across the board. Accordingly, nongovernmental organizations such as Transparency International concur with this assessment and also depict corruption as an anti-poor mechanism. Hence, corruption feeds into the cycle of poverty in developing nations, leaving the majority of wealth for the elite minority, while the majority of the populace lives in abject poverty. In the end, corruption and poor governance, combined with an abundance of accessible and valuable resources throughout the region provide ample motive for the generation of a power grab.

An approach to development focused on ‘anti-corruption’ and ‘good governance’ presumes that, because corrupt institutions are unattractive to investors, developing countries must adopt a mass of transparency and accountability practices in order to attract

Corruption is a dishonest behavior by people in power. It’s a problem that a lot of countries face and that the citizens don’t take into account. It has become such a big problem around the world that people don’t fight against it; they just learn how to live with it. Personally, I didn’t care much about corruption because I felt I couldn’t do anything to fight against it. But in 2015 my views about corruption changed, I now believe that the only ones able to fight against corruption are the citizens. My home, Guatemala got into a corruption scandal and it’s currently fighting to win this fight. Guatemala is a small country in Central America, which is often underestimated for its high rate of violence and poverty. People tend to overlook the good in it, they don’t talk about its breathtaking places, beautiful people, colorful aspects and

The question is how we can stop this corruption? It is hard to stop corruption, but we can try and help prevent it. One way is good governance principles can make it more challenging for corruption to take root. Requirements of good governance are participation, accountability, transparency, and the rule of law (Governance, corruption, and conflict, n.d.) It’s the combination of these principles that can minimize corruption and build a strong society (Governance, corruption, and conflict, n.d.). It is the citizens and governments who need to help minimize these

Corruption has been seen as a major obstacle of rapid economic growth and development. It is a complex phenomenon whose roots lay in political and bureaucratic institutions and affects the economic growth of different countries. It makes the governments intervene where they do not need to, and it weakens the ability of the government to enact and implement policies in areas in which government intervention is needed. Over the years, the dispute of the economic consequences of corruption on economic growth has been a topic of analysis. The analysis is focused on the effect of corruption on economic growth. Several studies have generally found a negative correlation between corruption, economic growth, inequality, governance, income distribution and business environment. At the same time also some positive correlation with economic growth has been found to exist.

Corruption is something very common in the world today. This corruption has seriously affected the economy and resulted in misappropriation of public resources. Many place policies have not changed the situations because of lack of commitment by government in enforcing the set policies. Corruption is defined as the abuse of power for personal gain. People who are in the politics become corrupt because of greed; they want the public resources to satisfy their own needs. This term is very broad, and people perceive it differently, and thus politicians and civil society have a different definition of the term. Although there are some practices that have been defined to constitute corrupt practices, still corruption is extraordinarily broad and

Governability. In every system it is important, that elected leaders react with energy and high responsivness. This is endangered by corruption and also the fact that politicians are sometimes scared of the political outcomes their decisions might be (removal from office next election term). Corruption can be stopped by: free press, legal system to prosecute and punish, organized citizenry. However, democratic governments have to have some autonomy from group demands in order to make and implement tough decisions.

I think corruption and public actions violations have direct impact on a country’s development. If public officials are corrupt, then they will only think of ways in which they can benefit themselves instead of ways to help in country’s progress.

In the world, just like crime, corruption is a problem that is in most of the society, which causes the breakdown of social classes. In the first place, the government does not generate aid and prevention mechanisms for poverty and unemployment. Therefore, the personal wishes of the governors cause inequality, and they do not promote equity between social classes. Poverty also occurs because the upper class accepts corruption, for they are benefited and want to make every decision for their own benefit without thinking about the needs of the community, and that makes a weak and poorly organized government. Nelson Mandela says, “A nation should not be judged by how it treats its citizens with a better position, but by how it treats those who have little to nothing”. In the same way, the inequality of opportunities present in the social classes by government creates a lack of economic development. On the other hand, many poor families lack resources because they begin to grow and they only have one child, if not five or more, which cannot be easily maintained. Even so, that does not justify government actions by not generating a space for inclusion of all society in politics and other situations. But, everyone wonders how these phenomena cause crime, and it is because when a person does not have what it takes to live and cannot find work in a legal way, they try to find an easy and quick way to make money.

Introduction: Corruption is becoming prevalent all over the world. Corruption hurts economies, people, and governments. Corruption is unethical, immoral, and illegal in many societies, religions, and countries. It needs to be stopped. Private organizations, United Nations, and some governments have attempted to stop corruption or at least have tried to prevent it. Corruption in Bangladesh: Corruption is talk of the town in Bangladesh now. It is not only a vice in Bangladesh but also in other countries of the world. But there are differences in the forms and results of corruption in different countries. A few specialists on corruption regard it as supportive to development. Corruption means committing crime and mischief to the country. It causes great harm to the countrymen. None can escape the harm of corruption. It is a social malady. It spreads its greedy

Sustainability can be defined as a long and creative process which creates positive and lasting results. Sustainability is a beneficial progress that consists of meeting people’s needs without conflicting the ability for future generations to meet their own needs. The change in resources will enhance both current and future generations to meet human needs. Sustainability is an important part that is presented in Ford’s overall image. At Ford, sustainability is a business model that involves long term conservation and enhances environmental, social and financial capital (“Sustainability Report”, 2014). There are three main reasons that explain how Ford is improving the importance of sustainability/social responsibility within their company compared to BMW.

In addition to the importance of corruption in the policy agenda, there is emerging consensus in academia, empirically as well as theoretically, that corruption has detrimental effects on society on different levels. Odell (2010) describes it as a ‘systematic disabler’ damaging economic and human development and adding

Corruption has always been one of the major problems of the world especially in politics. It has caused political fights, undermines democracy and good governance by flouting or even subverting formal processes for each other or just put in every penny in their pocket from their own countrymen without them even knowing it. In order to stop these incidents the people should be more educated in the world of politics so that they can be aware and stop the spread of corruption in the government.

Corruption is a complex political, social, and economic anomaly that negatively affects developing and developed countries. It weakens democratic institutions, holds economic development, widening the rich-poor gap and certainly leads to governmental instability. The World Bank definition of corruption states that “…the abuse of public office for private gain”.
